1. The following should be always be observed

for safety

• Please report to or take consent by the supply authority before connection to the system.

• Be sure to read "THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED FOR SAFETY" before installing

the air conditioner.

• Be sure to observe the cautions specified here as they include important items related to safety.

• The indications and meanings are as follows.

• After reading this manual, be sure to keep it together with the instruction manual in a handy place on the

customer's site.

Could lead to death, serious injury, etc.

Do not install it yourself (customer).

Perform the installation securely referring to the

installation manual.

Install the unit securely in a place which canbear the

weight ofthe unit.

Perform electrical work according tothe installation

manual andbe sure touse anexclusive circuit.

Attach the electrical part cover to the indoor unit andthe

service panel tothe outdoor unit securely.

Be sure touse the part provided orspecified parts for

theinstallation work.

Check that the refrigerant gas due not leak after

installation is completed.

Perform grounding

Do not installthe unit in a place where aninflammable

gasleaks.

• Incomplete installation could cause injury due to fire, electric shock, the

unit falling or a leakage of water. Consult the dealer from whom you

purchased theunitorspecialinstaller.

• Incomplete installation could cause a personal injury due to fire,

electric shock, the unit falling or a leakage of water.

• When installed in an insufficient strong place, the unit could fall

causing injured.

• Incomplete connecting and fixing could cause fire.

• If the capacity of the power circuit is insufficient or there is incomplete

• The use of defective parts could cause an injury or leakage of water

due to a fire, electric shock, the unit falling, etc.

• If gas leaks and accumulates in the area surrounding the unit, it could

cause an explosion.

• If there is a defect in the drainage/piping work, water could

drop from the unit and household goods could be wet and

damaged.

•Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe arrester or

telephone groundwire. Defectivegroundingcouldcausean electricshock.

• If the electrical part cover if the indoor unit and/or the service panel if

the outdoor unit are not attached securely, it could result in a fire or

2) Indoor Unit Installation

The mounting wall should be strong and solid

enough to protect it from the vibration.

1. Mount the installation plate on the wall

with four Type "A" screws.

(if mounting the unit on the concrete wall,

consider using anchor bolts.)

• Always mount the Installation plate

horizontally by aligning the marking-off line

by means of the thread and a level.

2. Drill the piping hole with 70mm dia.

holecore drill.

• For right rear piping and left rear piping,

draw a line in the direction of the arrow

marked "D". The meeting point of the two

lines is the center of the hole.

• Drill the piping hole with a ø70mm hole

core drill. Drill the piping hole at either the

right or the left with the hole slightly slanted

to the outdoor side.

3. Piping and Drainage of Indoor Unit

1) Preperation of Pipings

1. Cut the pipes and the cable.

• Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes

purchased locally.

• Measure the distance between the indoor

and the outdoor unit.

• Cut the pipes a little longer than measured

distance.

• Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the length of

the pipe.

2. Remove burrs.

• Remove burrs from cut edges of pipes.

• Turn the pipe end toward down to avoid the

metal powder entering the pipe.

Caution:

If burrs are not removed, they may cause a gas

leakage.

3. Flaring the pipes.

• Insert the flare nuts, mounted on the

connection ports of both indoor and outdoor

unit, onto the copper pipes. Some gas may

leak, when the flare nuts are removed from

the indoor unit, as some gas is charged to

prevent the inside of the pipe from rusting.

• Fit the copper pipe end into the Bar of flare

tool about 0.5~1.0mm higher. (See

illustration)

• Flare the pipe ends.

4. Tape the flaring portion to protect it from

the dust or damages.

"A"

When properly flared, the internal surface of the

flare will evenly shine and be of even thickness.

After the flare part comes into contact with the

connectors, carefully check the flare finish.

2) Connection of Pipings

1. Remove the indoor tubing with Drain hose

from the hole

• Remove tubing holder and pull the tubing out

of the chassis.

2. Replace the tubing holder into original

position.

For right rear piping

3. Route the tubing and the drain hose

straight backwards.

4. Insert the connecting cable into the indoor

unit through the piping hole.

• Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.

• Make a small loop with the cable for easy

connection later.

• Connecting cable

5. Tape the tubing, drain hose and the

connecting cable. Be sure that drain hose

locates at the lowest side of the bundle.

Locating at the upper side can be a reason

that drain water overflows drain pan inside

the unit.

CAUTION

After the confirmation of the above conditions, prepare the wiring as follows:

1) Never fail to have an individual power specialized for the air conditioner. As for the method of

wiring, be guided by the circuit diagram pasted on the inside of control box cover.

2) Provide a circuit breaker switch between power source and the unit.

3) The screw which fasten the wiring in the casing of electrical fittings are liable to come loose

from vibrations to which the unit is subjected during the course of transportation. Check them

and make sure that they are all tightly fastened. (If they are loose, it could give rise to

burn-out of the wires.)

4) Specification of power source.

5) Confirm that electrical capacity is sufficient.

6) See to that the starting voltage is maintained at more than 90 percent of the rated voltage

marked on the name plate.

7) Confirm that the cable thickness is as specified in the power sources specification.

(Particularly note the relation between cable length and thickness.)

8) Never fail to equip a leakage breaker where it is wet or moist.

9) The following troubles would be caused by voltage drop-down.

• Vibration of a magnetic switch, damage on the contact point there of, fuse breaking, disturbance to

the normal function of a overload protection device.

• Proper starting power is not given to the compressor.

for the unit operation.

6. Air Purging

1) Air purging

The air which contains moisture remaining in the

refrigeration cycle may cause a malfunction on

the compressor.

1. Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way

valves.

2. Remove the service-port cap from the

3-way valve.

3. Turn the valve stem of liquid side valve

counter-clockwise approx. 90 and hold it

there for ten seconds, then close it.

4. Check a gas-leakage of the connecting

portion of the pipings.

CAUTION: Do not leak the gas in the air

during air purging. Use vacuum

pump as far as possible.

2) Checking a gas leakage

1. Connect the manifold gauge to the service port of 3-way valve.

Measure the pressure.

2. Keep it for 5-10 minutes.

Ensure if the pressure indicated on the gauge is as same as that of measured at first time.

NOTE:

The additional gas for air purping has been charged in the outdoor unit.

However, if the flare connections have not been done correctly and there gas leaks, a gas cylinder

and the charge set will be needed.

CAUTION : Do not leak the gas in the air during air purging. Use vacuum pump as far as

possible.
